From what I have been able to research , it seems the only patches available for Alter Ego , are for the German version of the game . I think there may be a Russian or French patch as well . Out of curiosity lexxy , what video card are you utilizing ?

The Radeon HD 4 series , is now 3 generations old . If research and memory serves , the 4 series came with 512mb & 1gb or ram , so that should not be the problem . Which specific card in the Radeon 4800 series do you have ? It may be that , if Alter Ego is not the only game you are having issues with , a possible driver issue . If the only game , then a possible re install of the game , or a new install of the latest , or previous driver may help .

I was over at Amazon.com and read an interesting commet from a player who was also unable to play this game. She said her video card was well above the specs and found,in her opinion, the problem was the absence of Secum 7.42 0001. I do not know what that is but this is the only game, aside from The Momet Of Silence, I have had a problem I could not resolve. Ican not justify up gradeing a video card for one game so I guess I am stuck with it.

Do you mean SecuRom , instead of "Secum" ? SecuRom , is a drm , or anti piracy "prevention" method . The discussions , and there are several , about drm have been talked about for ages , so , there's no real need to go in to that here . Is your copy of Alter Ego a seperate physical copy , download , or part of the Adventure 4 pack ?

That does happen sometimes , unfortunately . Sorry to hear it is that way for you . I asked which version , because my version of the game is on the Adventure 4 pack . I played with no issues (luckily) , although I had to install through Steam . That was ok though , I have a small army of games on Steam .

I have a stream account in which I play Dead Mountainer's Hotel and there are no problems, Did the game download and play w/o problems? I ask this question because the game is $19.99 @ stream and I woul hate to buy it and still be unable to play it.
